Most likely Dinosauria requires a CE patch to work properly. Here we just updated it to work with B18 (+/- A Dog Said). When CE gets a stable release i'm sure someone with proper modding skills will look into it

Just checked. Turns out that I made an oversight with the direct download version by leaving the old XML patch file in there. Will fix, but everything should still work fine.

Thanks for reporting.

Removing the file "VFWE_Factions_Misc.xml" from the "Patches" subfolder seems to fix the errors thank you for the quick response!

Hello. I'm noticing something strange with the "Haul urgently". It rarely seems to consider the stacks of items as the normal "Haul" job does. What I mean is, considering 3 stacks of the same item near each other, "haul urgently" will make 3 pawns go after them, one after each stack, instead of sending just one (which could easily carry all).

Is there any way to force this "stacking" behavior?

Hi,
I'm getting the following console error twice when opening the game:

Code Select Expand

[Vanilla-Friendly Weapon Expansion] Patch operation Verse.PatchOperationAdd(/FactionDefs/FactionDef[defName = "Tribe"]/pawnGroupMakers/li[1]/options) failed

Mod list attached. Any ideas?

Thanks

That doesn't look like its caused by the mod... Must be a third one...

I think it must be something specific to this patch because without it there are no errors and the error "Could not resolve cross-reference: No Verse.BodyPartGroupDef named LeftLegClawAttackTool found to give to Verse.Tool left claw" makes any sense only in GeneticRimDinosauriaPatch.

Please help me debug this a bit, so I should at least know what to look for.
In \Mods\GeneticRimDinosauriaPatch\Defs\ThingDefs_Races\Races_Animal_Dinohybrids.xml there are 3 lines like this:

Code Select Expand

<linkedBodyPartsGroup>LeftLegClawAttackTool</linkedBodyPartsGroup>

Shouldn't there be a "parent" group called "LeftLegClawAttackTool" somewhere, to link this to it? I've searched for this in all of my mods and the only references are these 3 lines from this XML.

PS: I'm not playing with A Dog's Said mod. Also, my knowledge of Rimworld modding/structure is very limited.

Thanks 

EDIT:
I think I found the reason for the errors:

Code Select Expand

<BodyPartGroupDef>
    <defName>TailAttackTool</defName>
    <label>tail</label>
  </BodyPartGroupDef>

  <BodyPartGroupDef>
    <defName>ArmClawAttackTool</defName>
    <label>claw</label>
  </BodyPartGroupDef>

These are the only BodyPartGroups for the dinosaurs. What version of Dinosauria did you use (and where from)?

Hi,
I would like a mod that allows the changing of a room type (e.g. from Recreation to Workshop/Dining/etc), if the new type's conditions are met.

Putting some joy objects in a dining room incorrectly changes it to a "recreation" type and I really hate this. It also seems that colonists actually care about this room type, enough that they won't eat at the 2 huge, legendary tables that are present there.

Thanks

@SargBjornson: thanks for also fixing the error I posted earlier on this page

Also, I have some errors with the Dinosauria Patch (see attached files). When I remove this patch the errors are gone. I attached a ModsConfig.xml without the patch.

I tried the following mod loading orders:  Dinosauria - GeneticRim - Patch;  GeneticRim - Dinosauria - Patch.
Same errors every time.

The base folder of any mod (i.e. the folder containing the subfolders "About", "Defs", etc) should be named after the mod, but without any version and such as a prefix or suffix. Why? because after each update to the mod, you should also update the name of the base folder, which means that each new version will have a new base folder in the "Mods" folder of Rimworld, which means we need to keep renaming and deleting stuff to update a mod to a new version (be it a new mod build or a new Rimworld version)

Any chance for an update to B18?

Any chance for a B18 update for this mod? Maybe some configurable options for pets too?

With help from a fellow modder, I managed to get rid of the last two errors too. Reuploaded the new version here:

@JinxVanAshke: still looking into how I was getting the errors (each time Rimworld started) and you were not. It doesn't make sense, yet.

So to add to the oddness. I was still using my original file since I got no errors. I downloaded the Giddy-up caravan mod. (Already was using the Core and battle mounts.) Once I activated that, console full of red errors.

I think Dinosauria needs a patch to make the animals rideable, so you should get errors by any chance, did you try Dinosauria only with Core in a new game? (and maybe Animal Logic).

Thanks for the quick update! Going to try it now (in an existing save). About the boomalopes/boomrats, one idea would be to make some predators eat them whole (e.g. creatures from Megafauna mod), thus preventing their explosion (somehow). Or to change (if possible) what predators want to eat based on the ratio of the prey on the map (i.e. if 70% are boomalopes, they should try to go for them instead of a lonely squirrel).

Do you mean this one? https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=37719

[3. Make predators stop spawning inside unrevealed areas or inside mountains. It's really annoying to find creatures digging through the mountain to get to your base, just because they spawned in a 3x3 area somewhere.]

Hi. Might I suggest some QOL changes?
1. Change the ratio of [prey/predators] a bit... my map had like [~60%/~40%], which is a huge amount of predators, for any map.
2. Make predators not attack each other and change their hunger rate according to how much prey there is in their immediate vicinity (let's say 10-15 tiles?). Minimum hunger rate = vanilla value (the higher the rate, the faster they need to eat something).

3. Make predators stop spawning inside unrevealed areas or inside mountains. It's really annoying to find creatures digging through the mountain to get to your base, just because they spawned in a 3x3 area somewhere.

Thanks
